I spent some time looking at that Tekton tools site late last night. Turns out, I have more Tekton tools than I realized. Another one I have is that mini bolt cutter that shows up on their first page of pliers and cutters. Paid like $6 for it. Put it in my electrical bag to shorten screws and small fittings for electrical work, as many times they are too long. I have used the he!! out of that becauser I always figured, for $6 it ain't gonna last long. Well, that was in 2004. I have used it a lot since then and the jaws don't even show any wear. Yeah, I know, it ain't a Knipex -- no I have that one in my roller at home so I don't lose that little item I paid like $60 for. And yes, I like the Knipex a lot and it will slice thru anything I throw at it, but for $6 for a ride along in my every day bag, I cannot complain about that little cutter. And if I lose it, I'll go buy another. And no, I have no connection to Tekton tools, and I don't even know the OP, but what I've used so far has stood the test of time for me.
Cheers,
Jim
